The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights: Final Year Magic with Glow Ears

A Glowing Farewell to a Disney Holiday Classic

The Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights delighted Walt Disney World guests at Hollywood Studios for 20 years. Sadly, 2015 marked its final season. The dazzling display truly came to life in 2006 when it moved to the Streets of America, where it danced to holiday tunes nightly.

Made With Magic Meets the Osborne Lights

In 2013, Walt Disney World introduced an exciting new way to become part of the show—Made With Magic, originally known as Glow with the Show. This interactive line of accessories includes Mickey ear hats, Minnie headbands, gloves, and Sorcerer Mickey wands. Each item lights up in sync with nighttime shows across the resort.

During the final season of the Osborne Lights in 2015, Made With Magic devices integrated seamlessly with the performance. They blinked and glowed in harmony with the music and lights. This feature made the show even more immersive and magical.

I captured the experience from a unique angle. Positioned just behind the Made With Magic ear display, I recorded how the accessories lit up in sync with the lights.
